Jules. Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 He has cut down my tree, like we wanted him to I'm left with all this Saturday morning After a couple of hours work stripping off the little branches I'm left with a big pile of wood for my dad to use on his fire ( out of shot in front of the gate), a sore hand from using the secators & a tidy garden. I'm about half-way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 What have I done ? There will be bare gardens up and down the country . Looks really good though - what a beautiful and neat garden you have (you're not seeing photos of mine at the moment ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia W Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 nor mine. I've spent the weekend battling with a renegade bramble bush - called Himalyan - and I feel as if I climbed a mountain or two! It was planted by an elderly neighbour 50 years ago and has been spread by birds - everywhere. It now terrorises gardens left, right and centre. The blackberries may be wonderful but the thorns ain't. I have scratches, splinters and ache all over. However, three little bantams have had a wonderful time. They moved in after me, hoovering up the insects, and loosening the soil as I macheted my way through - I think they earned their treats tonight! Especially as I'm clearing ground for a WIR and another eglu.. A real chicken workforce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
